Finding help from above

[MynameisTuesday]

I am in the midst of a mental health crisis and being supported by a hospital team.
I find myself crying out to God for help and struggling to see a way through what is happening.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom or positivity they can share with me, please. I would be grateful of any of you kind enough to add me to your prayers. Thank you xx

Hi@MynameisTuesday

I'm really sorry to hear that youre going through this.

I will definitely pray for you xxx

Thank you Tiny.
I (selfishly) asked for myself but, of course, I ask for prayers for anyone currently going through this. Thank you. I greatly appreciate your reply xx

I'm sorry that you are going through such a difficult time. I don't have any words of wisdom I'm afraid, but I will pray for you

It sounds like a very tough time for you!!
I've prayed for you and will keep you in my prayers!
I really hope you can find a way through it. Xxx

I am not religious as such but I find the serenity prayer (from AA) is very calming if repeated slowly, either out loud or in your head:

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Well done on asking for help, both from professionals and on here. That means you have not totally given up, and at least a tiny part of you believes it is possible that this will pass and you will not feel like this for ever. It's horrible to feel how you are at the moment and it's not easy to see a way through, but many people have been where you are today and do not feel like that now. It's shit that you have to go through this but you will not feel like this forever.

Thank you xx

I am so grateful to you all.
And thank you for the Serenity Prayer @BishyBarnyBee
The reminder that 'this isn't forever' is so helpful to hear and to keep trying to believe
Thank you all most sincerely xx

I've had help before from God the universe or whatever people want to call it. And I'll pray for you.

Try lying or sitting comfortably. Listen to anything calming. Be it nice music, ocean waves, birdsong....etc. I find rain sounds soothing. Ask for help whilst you relax. Either say a prayer or just say help me. It way not instantly work but don't give up. You may feel a cool breeze or sudden calmness. Just go with it.

It's good you're being supported. Are you eating well and exercising? I know everyone says walking is good but it really is.

Thank you @CuriousMama
I walk a lot as I'm so restless and I talk to God and the universe a lot. I have been praying x

Try the meditation if you haven't already. Can take practice to still your mind but you get there in the end ❤️

Hi @MynameisTuesday

Just wondering how you are xx hope you're OK and thinking of you xx

Thank you so much @TinyDancer275 .
I'm changing medications over so am very anxious and just trying to get through each part of the day. I am praying a lot and am just about to try a meditation.
I am really struggling but I'm so grateful to you for your kind message. Thank you and thank you for your prayers xx

Hey @MynameisTuesday

I really hope that your medication works well.

I will pray that you find peace and are not anxious.

I'm keeping you in my thoughts
Xxxxxx

More prayers from me.

I remember the story of how Jesus claimed the storm in the Bible - if he has that power of nature then he has that power over the storm in my head - he can calm it if I ask him to. Not claiming instant results, but God has been faithful and answered that prayer from me.

I pray he will calm the storm you are going through too xx

Thank you for your kind words and prayers @DoYouRememberTheInnMiranda and @TinyDancer275

Hi @MynameisTuesday how are you getting on? I hope you're OK.
